Too much negativity is bad for you
"Why is it that when we get really positive feedback in a performance review we still focus on the tiny amount of constructive feedback given? Or when we submit a proposal and a few changes are requested, we focus on what went wrong, not what went right? Or why is it when your kids come home from school and proudly tell you they achieved 18 out of 20 in their spelling bee, you automatically want to know what they got wrong?"
"Although there is a time and a place for critical thinking and constructive feedback – both of which are essential to ensure individuals, teams and organisations keep evolving and improving — too much negativity is definitely bad for us."

One step closer to KITT • cars that talk to each other
"It's morning rush hour in the New York metropolitan area and thousands of cars are inching toward the city. On top of the usual congestion — hey, it's New York — the thick, gray fog that blankets the roadway makes visibility limited. It's so difficult to see, in fact, that the sound of screeching tires reaches your ears before you see the brake lights on the car ahead. By then, it's too late to avoid a rear-end collision."
How to fix this?

Making the case for STEM skills • for everyone
"Should everyone strive to develop some literacy in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)? Demand for people with STEM skills is white hot, even in an era of high unemployment. Even the most creative-type jobs now call for STEM abilities. One expert argues that everyone needs to have some STEM in their background, and it shouldn't be limited to engineers, programmers and scientists."
